FAQs
What video formats does the free video cropper support?
This free video cropper supports all major formats including MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV, and AVI. Upload any standard video file and crop it directly in your browser. If you also need to reduce file size afterward, try our video compressor tool.
How do I crop a video without losing quality?
The cropper processes your video without re-encoding the entire file when possible, preserving the original quality within the cropped frame. The output maintains your source resolution and bitrate for the selected area, so you get a clean result without compression artifacts.
Can I crop videos for different social media platforms?
Yes. The tool includes preset aspect ratios for all major platforms: 9:16 for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts; 1:1 for Instagram posts; 16:9 for YouTube and widescreen; and 4:5 for Facebook feed. Select any preset or define a custom crop area.
What's the difference between cropping and trimming a video?
Cropping removes parts of the video frame, changing the visible area and potentially the aspect ratio. Trimming cuts the video's duration by removing segments from the start or end. If you need to shorten your video's length instead, use our video trimmer tool.
Is there a file size limit for cropping videos?
You can crop videos up to 500MB for free. This covers most standard video files including several minutes of 1080p or 4K footage. For larger files, consider compressing first with our MP4 compressor before cropping.
Can I crop a specific area of my video frame?
Absolutely. Use the drag-and-drop crop box to select any rectangular area within your video frame. You can manually adjust the position, width, and height to focus on exactly the portion of the frame you want to keep.
